Naba Nilachal

After taking sanyas Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu left for Puri.He entered the Mahesh Jagannath temple on his way to Nilachal on his mother's order. After visiting Drubananda’s Temple, he lost his sense, and absorbed in deep Samādhi.Then he called Mahesh 'Naba Nilachal'. Puri is 'Nilachal' and Mahesh is 'Naba Nilachal'. This is the word of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Srimukh.

"Ayodhya Mathura Gaya Kashi Kanchi Avantika.
Puri dwaravati chaib saptaite moksadayaka."
